Um, no. You are either omitting at least one other "circle of thought" or misstating the position of those you think fall into circle #2. Perhaps this would be a good time to refer everyone to this: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sg/20050325a The part that is most relevant to your...

You make a good point, but you seem to be forgetting that we aren't evaluating everything the paladin in this particular example has ever done. We're looking at one specific event, and in that context, all that is required is that he "not do evil." If, on the whole, the paladin is not Lawful...

First, you're asking the wrong question. A paladin is not required to be Lawful and Good with every action. How does eating her dinner fall into either category? The question is: how do the paladin's action fall into the Evil or Chaotic categories? Furthermore, consider this (from the PHB)...

No, he doesn't. You will not find that commandment anywhere in the paladin class description, and all it would take from me is an example of an unjust law (slavery, for example) to have you hastily backpedaling on that claim. You will, however, find this in the paladin's code: "Additionally, a...

Quoted for truth.

"Good characters make personal sacrifices to help others...People who are neutral with respect to good and evil have compunctions against killing the innocent but lack the commitment to make sacrifices to protect or help others. Neutral people are committed to others by personal relationships...

I must have missed something "obvious." How exactly does this violate the paladin's code?

The wording of this feat suggests that you cannot normally jump over rough terrain as part of a Charge. As I said above, it wouldn't surprise me to find that the "official ruling" is exactly that, but I don't see a problem with it under the RAW.

That does not, in any way, follow.

It's in Unapproachable East. Basically, DC 16 Fort save or take additional 1d4 points of damage, which cure wielder or act as temp hp for 1 hour, for +2 price bonus.

If the obstacle doesn't hinder your movement, though, how would this rule apply? I think you'd have a better argument if you relied on the "clear path" language, but the Charge description itself goes on to explain what that means, and it wouldn't necessarily prevent a Jumping Charge. I think...

This is how I would handle it, too. But there's a much more pressing question to my mind: What are you doing wrong that the paladin has time to waste in battle detecting evil?

According to the spell itself the lightning bolts are an attack and will end the invisibility sphere spell; the artificer's player could not be more wrong. In my personal opinion, however, they should be considered an indirect attack that does not end the invisibility sphere. That absolutely...

You are totally missing the point, my friend. I could just as well have made it: "Why is that elf wizard held to that 8 Strength score? It is very well possible for him to deal 20 points of melee damage every now and then. Everyone exceeds their capabilities every now and then." Every...

A warforged's composite plating has no effect on a monk's class abilities, unless he also takes a feat such as Adamantine Body, Mithral Body, etc.

Why is that elf wizard held to that 8 Constitution score? It is very well possible for him to survive more damage than he has hit points every now and then. Everyone exceeds their capabilities every now and then. C'mon, I think everyone reading this should know the answer to your question by now!

Shilsen posted a reference to the PHB glossary entry for "half speed" that states the rule incompletely. (I assume this is what you're talking about.) The actual rule appears on page 144, and states that hampered movement prevents 5-foot steps.

Ultimately, this is an issue for the DM to decide. That being said, unless the spell description states that the spell's effect is visible or it is obvious from the spell description that it would be, I would rule that they are not visible (and thus not identifiable via Spellcraft checks...

I just have to say, I'm surprised to see a number of people claim that "it depends on the player." I've never seen anyone do it any way other than (1) pick the feat, (2) accept the region that goes along with it. But that's just my experience, I guess.

Maybe if you paid me (and I'm talking about a decent wage, too). Otherwise, nope.
